About Us

Healing Hearts in Hope Veterans Retreat
Center,(HHHVRC), is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization founded by Teresa
"Flying Eagle" Baird. Teresa's husband, William L. Baird, was a Vietnam
Veteran who later took his own life as a result of delayed stress, (PTSD).
Teresa has set aside 17 acres of their land for the benefit of American
Veterans who are in need of hope and healing. This beautiful rain
forest, nestled at the base of Mt. Pilchuck, near Granite Falls,
Washington, provides inspiration and offers opportunity to Veterans to
heal and find internal peace.

"Give your heart to our Veterans for they are the heart of this country"

Our Mission Statement

We work together to reach out to Veterans and their families who are dealing with the issues associated with military deployment, war zone stress and reintegration. We offer a quiet, peaceful place for Veterans and their families to go to relax and get back to nature. We are here to support all Veterans of all wars and offer them a safe place to camp, fish, hike and enjoy nature. Healing Hearts in Hope Veteran’s Retreat Center is a place for Veterans to find and talk to other Veterans. A place to discover that you are not alone and there are people that truly care.

You may feel helpless, but there are many things you can do. Nobody
expects you to have all the answers. If you feel there is a crisis for
